'We appreciate the care and concern of the Department of Corrections officers and staff,' said Weinstein's rep.
Harvey Weinstein was transferred to New York’s Bellevue Hospital for chest pains Wednesday, hours after a judge sentenced the disgraced producer to 23 years in prison.
Weinstein’s rep confirmed earlier to Yahoo the former movie mogul was headed back to Rikers after sentencing. Weinstein was expected to stay there for seven to 10 days before being sent to Fishkill Correctional Facility, a multi-security level prison in New York,"where they will determine where he serves his sentence."
Weinstein's attorneys have said they intend to appeal; however, legal experts spoke to Yahoo and said the defense faces an uphill battle.
